Ford voted best fictional US president

Harrison Ford has been named the fictional US president movie fans would most like to see in the White House.

The Air Force One star pipped Morgan Freeman to the post in the online AOL Moviefone poll, which drew 1.1 million votes.

Freeman gathered 176,303 backers for his role as president Tom Beck in the 1998 film Deep Impact. Michael Douglas was third for The American President, followed by Bill Pullman in Independence Day and Kevin Kline in Dave.

Moviefone editor-in-chief Scott Robson told Reuters: "It seems everybody is looking for a commander-in-chief who can come in and take command. Our readers voted with their hearts at a time when you have the economy going down the tubes, but in an ideal world it would be great to have a president who can kick some ass."
